Altered Carbon. Have you seen it?
I want to start this out by saying I LOVED this show. I was so bummed when I heard that Netflix won’t be making a third season. My hope is that someone else will. Is that a thing? I know that Netflix will pick up shows from other cable networks, but has anyone ever picked up a cancelled Netflix show? I live under a rock, so I have no idea. But I can hope.
Okay. This is a sci-fi show set in the future that’s based on the novels by Richard K. Morgan. In a world where consciousness can be transferred to different bodies, Takeshi Kovacs, a former soldier turned investigator, must solve a murder. via
The first season stars Joel Kinnaman who is phenomenal as always in my opinion. The second stars Anthony Mackie who also does a magnificent job with the story. My favorite character however is Poe, Edgar Poe, played by Chris Conner who is an AI and runs the hotel that the main character lives in. That’s sort of a spoiler and you know I hate that so forget that I said it. But he is AWESOME. If you don’t want to watch this show for any other reason, watch it for Poe.
The rest of the cast is excellent too. But I don’t think that you are here for a list of cast members. Just go watch it!
I do feel like I should caution you that this is an adult show. Don’t let your tween watch it. It has all of the things that would make a movie rated R, so keep that in mind.
Let me know if you’ve seen it and did you love it as much as I did? And if you haven’t, go watch it and let me know what you thought.
You can find all of the other shows we’ve watched lately, here if you are interested!
